I would argue that there is no need to sync all accounts between all devices all the time.



We're holding it wrong ?

The whole point of a password manager is to be reliable when shit hits the fan. If my phone dies I want every changes to be available to the other synced devices, especially when it has been away from home for a while (losing newly created accounts or passwords during a trip is just miserable)


We're holding it differently.

My phone doesn't have my main password safe. I don't trust that thing. If a stupid app decides to log me out, I can't login until I'm back home. I never created an account "on the go", but I had to do a password reset once. I will use a standard password until I'm back and change it to a randomly created one. I can't even login to my bank without a special token device. I don't have that with me either.

A different life is possible. That's all I'm saying.


Understandable.

I'm in a area where my phone might suddenly outlive my house, so we have very different life choices indeed.
